Good guests

I like the idea of a podcast where I get to hear from various personalities in San Diego beer. So far most of the guests have been really interesting. Why 3 stars? One of the hosts makes this podcast unlistenable at times. Loud, obnoxious, unknowledgable about beer, with a penchant for sidetracking the interview to talk about herself.

A Show to Drink a Beer To

This show is a very laid back, easy listening type feel but has a lot fun with itself. The only thing that they are always serious about, is the beer. Each week, they fill my ears with great info on great beers, brewing ideas and help, as well as enough off topic talk that keeps it fresh and funny. Keep it up guys. I love you Hooker!!! :-)
